Developmental strategy:
C. My improvement goal for Level 3 Technical is:
My beat patterns will fluctuate between 4/4 and 2/2, using a melded
gesture for 2/2. The gestures will overall be a medium-size, as the
only dynamic contrast needed is on the final chord. The cues I give will
be very inviting, making a scooping motion with my left hand. My
releases will be clear and concise enough for the choir to follow me,
without evoking a response of explosive consonants.
